Evonik: Price Increase for PLEXIGLAS® and PLEXIMID® Molding Compounds

Effective April 1, 2013, Evonik Industries AG will increase the prices for all molding compounds sold under the PLEXIGLAS® and PLEXIMID® trademarks. As far as permissible under existing agreements the increase will amount to 0.14 EUR per kilogram.

The reason for this step is the continued escalation of raw material cost. Evonik Industries is a worldwide manufacturer of PMMA products sold under the PLEXIGLAS® trademark on the European, Asian, African and Australian continents and under the trademark ACRYLITE® in the Americas.

Effective April 1, 2013, Evonik Industries AG will increase the prices of its PMMA sheets and blocks, which it markets under the PLEXIGLAS® and DEGLAS® trademarks, and the ACRIFX® products by 8 percent. The reason for this step is the ongoing considerable rise in the cost of upstream products, especially raw materials.
